The Cong beat Hanoi Police

Hanoi The Cong defeated Hanoi Police 3-0 in round 13 on the evening of March 9, thereby breaking a streak of seven draws and losses in the 2023-2024 V-League.

Seven winless matches is the worst streak of The Cong in V-League history. They are expected to face many difficulties when facing Cong An Ha Noi - a team that is unbeaten in five consecutive matches and playing well under new coach Kiatisuk Senamuang. However, The Cong's changes at Hang Day Stadium on the evening of March 9 have created a positive breakthrough.

Brazilian rookie Pedro Henrique brought new life to The Cong's attack, while striker Nham Manh Dung unexpectedly shone. On the contrary, CAHN faced difficulties early on when Bui Hoang Viet Anh suffered a torn lip after colliding with Pedro Henrique in the seventh minute. The central defender returned to the field, but had difficulty maintaining stability due to the pain, and had to go to the hospital to treat the wound.

The Cong controlled the game well and took advantage of the opportunity from the counter-attack in the 32nd minute, when CAHN player Vu Van Thanh lost the ball after a bad corner kick. Truong Tien Anh passed to Pedro who accelerated from the middle of the field into the 5m50 box before passing conveniently for Nham Manh Dung to tap into the empty net.

The goal helped Nham Manh Dung play with excitement, then continued to explode in the 45th minute. Receiving the ball on the left wing, the striker born in 2000 skillfully handled the ball past two CAHN defenders, then returned the favor with a favorable cross for Pedro Henrique to double the gap.

In the second half, CAHN tried to create more pressure, but the opportunities passed through the strikers' shoes. In the 58th minute, from a free kick on the left wing and 20 meters from The Cong goal, Vu Van Thanh shot a good arc, but goalkeeper Pham Van Phong played focused to block. 10 minutes later, Janio Fialho made a beautiful hook, sending the ball wide of the right post.

Immediately after CAHN's missed situation, The Cong organized a quick counterattack. This time, Manh Dung ignited the substitute midfielder Khuat Van Khang to accelerate on the left wing, then unleashed a powerful cross-angle shot inside the box to defeat Filip Nguyen.

Having more players for more than 10 minutes, CAHN created three more dangerous opportunities. However, Ho Tan Tai and Elias Jeferson both missed the post or were blocked by Pham Van Phong.
